Numerous studies have reported that treelines are moving to higher elevations and higher
latitudes. Most treelines are temperature limited and warmer climate expands the area in …

Elevational and polar treelines have been studied for more than two centuries. The aim of
the present article is to highlight in retrospect the scope of treeline research, scientific …

Globally, treeline ecotones vary from abrupt lines to extended zones of increasingly small,
stunted and/or dispersed trees. These spatial patterns contain information about the …

Aim Models project that climate warming will cause the tree line to move to higher elevations
in alpine areas and more northerly latitudes in Arctic environments. We aimed to document …

Downslope winds are mesoscale mountain meteorological phenomena that contribute to
localized temperature extremes and contribute to numerous societal and environmental …

As the “front line” of co** with global climate change, the alpine treeline has been widely
investigated by ecologists for a long time. In this study, 3180 articles in the Web of Science …

Expanding high‐elevation and high‐latitude forest has contrasting climate feedbacks
through carbon sequestration (cooling) and reduced surface reflectance (warming), which …

Wind speeds have substantially changed over the Northern Hemisphere during the past a
few decades, and such changes have been shown to have important implications for the …

Aims While treeline positions are globally correlated to growing season temperatures,
seedling establishment, an important process of alpine treeline dynamics, is additionally …

Mountain plant communities are thought to be sensitive to climate change and, thus, able to
reveal its effects sooner than others. The status as sentinels of two plant communities are …
